This isn’t your environment.
This is your body.

To harm the Earth is to harm ourselves.
To heal her is to come home. ❤️

Dear African Energy Week (@Real_AEW) you cannot hide behind false promises to continue your exploitation of Africa’s resources.
We demand you take real, measurable steps towards climate accountability.

More than 60,000 Kenyans have petitioned the government to immediately stop deforestation and lift the logging ban in the Mau Forest Complex, warning that continued forest loss is putting Kenya’s water towers, wildlife and livelihoods at risk.

Led by Greenpeace Africa, the Green Belt Movement, Just Act, Friends of Nairobi National Park, civil society groups and environmentalists, the petitioners marched from Uhuru Park to the Ministry of Environment in Nairobi on Tuesday to present their petition.

Mpumalanga produces 80%+ of South Africa’s coal, creating severe air pollution from SO2 and particulates. Coal pollution causes 32,000 premature deaths yearly in SA, driving climate change and risking community health.

How many water towers must be flattened for a golf course before the government acts?

Kenyans have taken the movement to protect their forests straight to the source: Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, Deborah Barasa.

Over 60,000 citizens refuse to watch sacred ecosystems in Upper Imenti and Ngong Road get carved up behind closed doors.

No more quiet approvals.
No more fake consultations.

We demand permanent legal protection for Kenya’s forests, not luxury real estate!

La lettre a été déposée. Le silence persiste.

Les communautés riveraines des usines de farine et d’huile de poisson ont écrit au Président Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye pour l’alerter sur les nuisances et les dommages qu’elles subissent.

Le Corridor Vert Kivu-Kinshasa, présenté à Davos comme une forêt protégée, est aujourd’hui menacé.

Malgré les annonces, des concessions pétrolières et minières couvrent presque tout le corridor.

Forests Under Siege:

Environmental conservation groups and community forest associations have renewed their calls against increasing destruction of Kenya's public forests, national parks and urban green spaces.

They argue that Kenya risks undermining its target of planting 15 billion trees by 2032.
